‘Protect the Aid Budget!’

Request for campaign action sent, by post and email, to NE-CAP Committee Members, Constituency Contacts and Supporters in early June.

A Reasoned Request to North East MPs

I am asking you, as a supporter of NE-CAP, to write to, or email your MP as a matter of urgency – the parliamentary debate takes place on Monday 13th June and MPs plan their schedules well in advance. The reason I do so is explained in the enclosed ‘Request to NE MPs’.

Please join us in taking action in this way – it would be simply terrible if the only views which MPs hear are from those who are as ignorant of the plight of those in greatest need in the world, as they are indifferent to the injustices which they endure!

As usual, we’ve made it really easy for you! 

With every good wish,

Dr David Golding CBE (Development Coordinator)

“Sometimes it falls upon a generation to be great. You can be that great generation. Let your greatness blossom. Of course the task will not be easy. But not to do this would be crime against humanity, against which I ask all humanity to rise up. Make Poverty History in 2005. Make History in 2005. Then we can all stand with our heads held high.”
Nelson Mandela, 2005
